The Family And Enemy
Alex's friendship

Today Bela did not go to college. He's at Erland's house. She hadn't seen Maya in a long time. Bela misses Maya a lot. For Bela, Maya is her mother. Bela can feel a mother's affection through Maya.

"What did you say?" Erland seemed to not believe all of Bela's stories.

"really. Yesterday I thought the man who was following me was Om Erland's man. But I was wrong. The man was just delivering presents and flowers. This morning too, when I was jogging there was someone who delivered gifts again. I'm really curious. Who and why he gave me a gift." Bela's frustration.

"Look, maybe it was your little friend Bel." Rio calmed Bela down.

"I didn't know the house was inhabited. What I remember is an empty house."

"Darling, eat the cake first. Aunt made him full of love." Maya brought a plate of gingerbread. Put it on the table.

Just now that the plate landed, someone took it.

Maya feeds Bela. A sweet smile did not fade from his lips.

"Tante, Bela can eat alone. Bela is not a child anymore." Bela skilful gingerbread that is in Maya's hands.

"For me you're a child." Maya continues to feed Bela.

"Where did Erland send Elli's sister and Sena's sister?" Bela angry. He does not find Elli and Sena in their mansion. Bela couldn't contact them either.

"They're on a mission from me. Think of it as their punishment for lying to me." Erland casually responded to a question from Bela.

"Oh come on, Om. That's because Bela wants to give you a surprise. Well even though it failed. So it's Bela's fault it's not their fault." Bela still could not accept Erland's treatment of Elli and Sena.

"They'll be back in 3 days. Will you come to Aurel's party tonight or not?" Erland asked Bela.

"Bela must come, Om. She said she also invited the residents of the new house. Bela was curious so Bela had to come."

"Good then we go to the boutique and find a dress for you." Maya decides to buy a dress for Bela.

"May too, Tan. Come on!"

Maya and Bela leave the dining table. They forgot Erland and Rio who were still there.

"Pa, we're considered statues huh?" Rio asked expressionlessly.

"Yes that's how." Erland sighed.

Basic lady.

Bela sat in front of her dresser. He wanted to get ready but somehow he was worried. He saw a big box on the bed and he picked it up and went out of the room looking for Aurel.

"Happy birthday. It's a gift from me." Bela placed her card in front of Aurel. Coincidentally Aurel was sitting at the dining table.

"Thank you. Does this mean you didn't come to my party so you gave me a present at home?" Aurel looked at the sad Bela.

"Come on, Mayleen she went out of town. I'm not excited if there's no one." Be lazy if you have to interact with a lot of people.

"You should come, Bel. Oh yeah, who did you get this gift from this morning?"

"I don't know. I also got gifts and flowers. The sender kept his identity a secret." Bela stay cold. He spoke in a flat tone.

"I'll try to come, to see your engagement." Bela smiled at Aurel. A moment later he left Aurel and went to his room.

Aurel noticed Bela's sweet but terrible smile.

BELA POVS

Today was hard for me. Between my curiosity and the wound in my heart. Between me and Aurel there is a sense of mutual love for each other. I don't know if it's just pretend or just look for face. After we fight, we will act as normal as if nothing happened. Loved her? Sure do. Even my love is bigger than my hatred for her. The first time he came, I greeted him with great joy. We played together all day. Until I realized that everything that used to be on me was now on him. I don't hate it just that I get annoyed when everyone's on his side. Is it because she's beautiful?

Tonight you have to dress up Bela! Show me that you've grown into a beautiful girl.

I make light makeup on my face, I curl my hair as my neckline looks. I remember Dad's gift necklace. When I went to Australia I forgot to bring it. Turns out it's still neatly tucked away in my dresser drawer. I wear a necklace with white roses. I also changed into the dress I bought with Aunt Maya. Aunty Maya also gave me earrings that match the color of my dress. I really can't believe that mirror reflection is me. I look different this is not me. It's 19:00 I'm already late. The trip to the Rose hotel takes about half an hour.

When I went out of the room, I wanted to take Gian with me, too, but I immediately remembered that my mother was hiding Gian from the outside world. I rushed out of the house. My car is parked neatly in the yard. Didn't think long I got in the car and headed to Rose's hotel.

Arriving at Rose's hotel, I realized that my mother had also invited the media crew. Erland once told me not to let the media cover me anytime and anywhere. I know everything Om Erland says is there's a reason it's also for my own good so I have to obey. I got out of the car to the other door. There are 2 types of doors in this hotel VIP section and regular doors. I entered through the usual door. I immediately took the elevator to the top floor.

How surprised I was to see Alex also in the same elevator as me just the two of us. Did he avoid the media?

" Are you avoiding the media too?" Alex looked at me and asked.

"You think."

"Why? Aren't you also part of the Aurel family." I don't know why Alex was in the shoes.

"I'm just a pick-up boy. I'm different from Aurel."

Ting

The elevator door opened, and I rushed out.

"Gabela Zoffany." I felt my name called my feet to stop walking.

"What else?" I turned my body to face him.

"Md. This is the first time I've asked someone for a friendship. So can Miss Gabela be my friend?" I can't believe the notoriously cruel and cold man asked me to be his friend. His face also looked very serious.

"Give me one reason to be your friend!" I want to joke with him a little.

"I can protect you on campus." He's misbehaving. I don't know what made him behave wrong. But when he misbehaved, his expression was very funny.

"snap. Hha hahahah." I can't help it.

"What's so funny, Bel?"

"none. We're friends." I stretched my hand out to her. He also shook my hand.

"Friends. We're too late. Let's go in."

I followed him into the party hall. This is also the first time I've made friends with a man other than Bryan. I hope I can survive here. Seeing that there are people who want to be friends with me, I want to stay. Feel what I never felt before.
